undercoats
Paint beneath paint
Undercoats are base layers of paint or primer applied before the finish coat, providing adhesion and a uniform surface: The walls need two undercoats before the final color.
In animals, an undercoat is the dense, soft fur beneath the outer coat that provides insulation: Huskies have thick undercoats for Arctic winters.
Also the verb form of undercoat—to apply a base layer.
